so i keep eating this question over and over  and over i just wanted to create a video to  

explain it okay and the question is this why  can’t i go longer than three hours before i am  

starving i’m hungry and i need to eat some food  so this is a problem of fasting you just can’t  

fast very long and what this means is you have  a serious blood sugar problem an average thin  

person is carrying around about a hundred  thousand calories of fat on their bodies  

yet we only have a very small amount of stored  sugar it’s called glycogen it’s in the liver it’s  

in the muscles so we have about only 1700 calories  of stored sugar and a tremendous amount of stored  

fat so the problem is we’re not able to tap into  this fat because we have a blood sugar problem  

we have what’s called insulin resistance what is  that well that is a situation where your pancreas  

is pumping out a lot of insulin and the receptor  won’t receive it because it’s too much and so then  

we don’t get the communication back here because  this is blocked so then the pancreas just produces  

more and more and more and more insulin so we  have high levels of insulin when we have insulin  

resistance and it’s the high level of insulin  that prevents someone from tapping into the fat  

what allows you to tap into the fat and make  this transition is low levels of insulin  

and so the question is how do you get someone  to fast for a longer period of time so they’re  

not so hungry and craving all the time  very very simple once you understand this  

you must rid 100 percent of the sugars and the  hidden sugars fruit includes dates mango  

especially apples you can have some berries but  not any of the sweeter fruits yogurt which has a  

good amount of sugar in it especially if it’s  sweetened but even the plain has sugar in it  

juice yes that has that’s like equivalent to soda  honey is very similar to regular sugar it will  

prevent you from tapping in the fat so doing the  keto program partially doesn’t work you have to  

bring the sugars way down in order for you to  really get over here and start running off of  

your fat and then what happens you can go longer  because you won’t be hungry and you won’t crave  

anymore and you definitely want to make sure  and this is very important that you don’t snack  

sometimes people even on keto have this idea i can  just have a little snack in between the meal like  

even if it’s a healthy snack let’s say it’s some  nuts or something like that what’s gonna happen  

that little bit of snack is going to make you  hungry about an hour to two to three hours later  

you’re going to be hungry because eating makes  you hungry why because it stimulates insulin  

even if you consume protein it’ll stimulate some  degree of insulin and then insulin will push the  

blood sugars down and you end up with a blood  sugar problem so no more snacking number three  

just add more fat at the end of the meal if we  take a look at a meal the first thing that i like  

to do is have my vegetable first my salad second  thing with the protein which usually has fat in it  

and then the last thing is maybe some additional  fat whether it’s olives peanut butter or whatever  

because if you actually add more fat to  the meal it’s going to allow you to fast  

longer and fasting longer is going to help you  transition over here too so we have a combination  

of lowering your carbs and sugar and fasting  longer both of those things will help you drop  

insulin and everything is going to work really  nicely the last thing that i would do is add  

more fiber in the form of vegetable salad why  because you can’t digest that fiber your microbes  

take care of it for you they can digest the  fiber they turn it into various chemicals  

that actually help your blood sugars there’s a  chemical called butyrate which actually comes from  

a microbe consuming the fiber and that butyrate  actually helps insulin resistance it’s also by the  

way anti-cancer so if you’re doing keto without  a lot of vegetables that could be a problem in  

the transition especially if you have a history  of blood sugar issues and insulin resistance so  

after you do this you’re going to fast  longer and a lot of things are going to get  

better but realize this the longer you’ve had  a blood sugar problem and insulin resistance  

the more difficult it’s going to take to make  the transition and the longer you’re going to  

have to do this to see really good amazing  results before you go if you have a question  

about a product or you’re new to keto and you  want to know how to begin keto or you’re on keto  

and you need a debug because it’s not going  as smooth i have a keto consultant standing  

by to help you this is just for the people in  the u.s hopefully in the future we’ll be able  

to answer everyone’s call but i put the number  down below so you can call and get some help
